On 12th October, the world observed ‘World Sight Day’, a day dedicated to the cause of preventing blindness and promoting vision care. Our eye center, Sharnam Eye Centre and Laser Services, was no exception to these celebrations.
The day started bright and early at Central Park, Rajnagar, a favored haunt for morning walkers in the city. Here, Sharnam’s Mobile Retina Clinic came alive with activity as it began retinal imaging of diabetic patients. Diabetic retinopathy screening – a crucial procedure for those with diabetes – was conducted smoothly, drawing many to benefit from this vital service. Many participants, enthusiastic about the cause, posted selfies with the World Sight Day banner at the mobile van, spreading awareness and showing their support for the cause.
In addition to the screenings, attendees were provided with a digital eye care tips brochure, equipping them with knowledge on how to better care for their vision. This digital resource proved popular among the crowd, ensuring that the event’s impact lasted beyond just one day.
Back at the Sharnam Eye Centre, patients too were not left out of the celebrations. Many took the opportunity to pose with the World Sight Day standee placed strategically within the premises, after which they too received the eye care tips digital brochure.
This year’s theme, ‘Love Your Eyes at Work,’ addressed a pressing issue of our times – digital eye strain. With the predominance of screen-based tasks in today’s work culture, many face the brunt of this ailment. The brochure provided helpful tips tailored to help those suffering from or at risk of digital eye strain.
As evening approached, the Sharnam mobile retina clinic found its place in front of the popular Gaur Mall in the RDC area. This move was made possible thanks to a collaboration with the RDC Welfare Association, an organization representing the traders of the RDC area. The evening saw a different demographic, as many young individuals approached the van. Eager to learn, they benefitted immensely from the eye care information provided.
The entire day’s activities were a testament to the dedication of Sharnam Eye Centre and Laser Services towards the vision care cause. It was evident that the team left no stone unturned in ensuring that World Sight Day in Ghaziabad was both informative and engaging. As the day wrapped up, it was clear that the event had achieved its goal, leaving a lasting impact on all those who participated.
